Operate by pressing the central door lock switch.
- When pressing the right portion (1) for driver side of the switch, all
vehicle doors will lock.
- When pressing the left portion (2) for driver side of the switch, all
vehicle doors will unlock.
- If the key is in the ignition switch (or if the smart key is in the vehicle)
and any door is opened, the doors will not lock even though the right portion(1)
for driver side of the central door lock switch is pressed.
WARNING
Doors
- The doors should always be fully closed and locked while the vehicle
is in motion to prevent accidental opening of the door. Locked doors will also
discourage potential intruders when the vehicle stops or slows down.
- Be careful when opening doors and watch for vehicles, motorcycles,
bicycles or pedestrians approaching the vehicle in the path of the door. Opening
a door when something is approaching can cause damage or injury.
WARNING
Unlocked vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked can invite theft or possible harm to you or
others from someone hiding in your vehicle while you are gone. Always remove the
ignition key, engage the parking brake, close all windows and lock
all doors when leaving your vehicle unattended.
WARNING
Unattended children
An enclosed vehicle can become extremely hot, causing death or severe injury
to unattended children or animals who cannot escape the vehicle. Furthermore, children
might operate features of the vehicle that could injure them, or they could encounter
other harm, possibly from someone gaining entry to the vehicle. Never leave children
or animals unattended in your vehicle.
